Is there a way to save all pages as static html? I'd like to transfer the entire gallery to a cd.
Thanks in advance.

Check out this guys PHP code. I can't get it to work, but he seems to understand the problem. Can anyone get this working? I have found several WebCopier type applications that get most or some of it correct.. but they all miss the final detail page that should allow you to view a single image. It's not handling that last image correctly and I get 404's. You'd think there would be an application that just reads the thing like a browser would and spits the html out in the proper relative directories.. that would be smart enough to deal with the final call for the detailed image. I have found surprisingly little discussion about this and have been looking for days. Help??

I have tried Wget, Snoopy, HTTP Weazel, WebCopier 3.2, HTTRACK, SuperBot, and Pagesucker. I guess HTTP Weazel & WebCopier worked better than the others.. but still messed up on the final detail pages (single image).

You'd think it'd be as simple as... 1) Download entire site 2) make an autorun CD. The end. Well, that's what i dream of :smile:

Tanks,

Jim

You may wish to check out the discussion which occurred last month or so on the "Suggestions and Feedback" forum. To summarize, one or more people were able to get wget to function properly, with some details described in their posts.

I was still somewhat unhappy with wget, so I worked with Norman Walsh to bring his gallery2xml and associated scripts up to date. After a few steps, which require access to an XML processor (lots of freeware out there), one gets a directory structure which can be burned to CD.

Good luck!
